Planting & Care

The UK's top culinary sour cherry, perfect for pies, jams, and liqueurs.
Offers a rich flavour and glossy appearance, with fruit that can be harvested dark red for cooking or left until almost black for fresh eating.
A reliable and heavy cropper with an extended harvest period throughout August.
Performs well across the UK, including Scotland and the North, and even on shady, north-facing walls.
Late flowering helps it avoid damage from late spring frosts.
Grown on a Colt rootstock to limit its size to a manageable 4m x 4m, ideal for average gardens.
Self-fertile, ensuring a good crop without needing a pollination partner.
Winner of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape.

Latin Name: Prunus avium
Variety: Cherry
Features: Easy to grow, Disease resistant, Heritage, Self fertile
Flowering Time: April, May
Harvest Time: July, August
Uses: Cooking
Tasting Notes: Sour cherry that cooks down into the richest, fullest flavour with a good level of tanginess.
Eventual Spread: 4m
Hardiness: Hardy. Generally flowers late, but may require some protection from very late frosts. This won't cause lasting damage to the tree but will reduce the yield of fruit that year.
Pollination: Self-fertile (Pollination Group 4). Doesn't require a pollination partner to produce fruit but may produce better crops if one is nearby. In most built-up areas, it is unlikely there will not be a suitable tree close enough to pollinate, but in rural areas you should consider making sure there is another tree in the same pollination group within a mile.
Pruning: Prune Annually. Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure that your cherry tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.

Planting Time: Can be planted at any time of year.
Location: Suitable for growing in patio pots, borders, or against a sunny wall. Tolerates shadier spots like north-facing walls in southern regions.
Care: Prune annually in winter to maintain shape and encourage a good yield. While the tree is hardy and flowers late, protecting blossoms from very late, hard frosts can help ensure a larger fruit crop.
